Little Cart of Junk by auxC
One way to entertain yourself in the post-apocalypse is taking your Moving Platform for a walk and pretending to do Shopping. Gather items on the platform and try to avoid a janky physics catastrophe.
Controls: - Click and drag nearby items to swing them around. - Release to throw. Do the flick! It's all in the wrist.

If you run out of space just stack items on top each other, it's gonna be fine.

Mechanics abound! Ice cubes are slippery, bombs are ticking down and Skelebro is sad.
Thanks for checking out our game, have fun! :D
~~(sorry no Web build this time... Maybe we'll figure out how to fix it later)~~
Edit: Web build now works on Chrome! Firefox is still a disaster, so consider downloading the Windows version if you're using that.

Overall, really great game though! I could easily see this becoming a fully fledged game with more objects, different carts, environments, and all that etc.
There are nice ideas on the variety of object types : different sizes, shapes and weight. I loved the ice cube which are very slippy. Understanding why you would need ice cubes is beyond my intellectual capacities, but anyway...
It's a little too bad that we only have to put the needed objects on the cart to instantly win the level. We don't have the feeling of bringing them back home, like a true post-apocalyptic scavenger would do. And it would have been the occasion to reward good players who are able to put many objects on the cart, opposed to less good players who would have to make more trips to bring them all back.
I won the second level completely by chance. I was painfully putting objects on the cart, then it rolled over a phone pole, which was the last needed object, I won. But I totally did not deserve it.
Nice idea, need to be readjusted.
